A lot of times, as even an adult, you come across a situation where you are left stumped. You have no idea how to solve the issue if you do not even recognize what it is about.

This is where the internet comes in; now, we can all lean on our virtual communities. When this person came across something in their toilet bowl, they knew what corner of the internet would be able to help.

Plumbing problems can often become the bane of an adult’s existence. This person came across something incredibly confusing and decided that perhaps a Reddit community could help.

Not everyone can afford to call a plumber or expert at the drop of a hat, and hence, it was a good idea to first find out whether the problem was big enough to require professional assistance.

User Taway8091 posted some pictures to Reddit that were both confusing and concerning. They saw some strange things floating up their toilet bowl, which left them scratching their heads.

They found the strange object floating into the toilet bowl the night before. They described it as “hard but thin and brittle like an eggshell.” They reported that pieces broke off quite easily when pressed. The color they noticed was also odd. They said it did not seem metallic or plastic either.

They were stumped as to what it could be and hence turned to the ‘What Is This Thing’ subreddit to outsource the question. A lot of people immediately had ideas on what it could be.
